Chapter 308: Chapter 308
A person from the shipyard was initially stunned, then their face broke into a smile, eyes filled with tears.
"Supervisor Pei was constantly refining this metal back then. This metal has a high melting point and is not easy to refine. She spent a lot of effort to finally create it."
"Moreover, this cabin door is a necessary passage to the cargo hold, so blocking it here ensures that the things in the cargo hold won’t be easy for the Dazi to get to."
"Supervisor Pei previously said that this cabin door must be the most robust so that everyone has a way out."
Upon hearing these words, everyone felt touched again.
If it weren’t for this door, if it weren’t for Miss Pei’s consideration, I’m afraid everyone would have already become ghosts under the axes of the Dazi.
The soldiers on the first ship were cleared out first, due to fewer Dazi present and having Tang Zan, Pei Shu’er, and experts from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
These experts, about five on each ship.
Until everyone on this ship was killed did they first go to aid the nearest ship, then gradually moved onto the ships behind.
The five ships behind had their cabins sealed, giving the Dazi considerable free space.
Although they couldn’t kill the Dayan soldiers, upon seeing the food in the cabins, they couldn’t resist their nature and began to plunder.
The most crucial part was seizing control of the cockpit.
By then, they could take this full ship of goods back to their living area, and even if the cabin doors were solid, what use is it once the soldiers are brought to their village and attacked?
The control of the five ships was easily obtained.
Just when they were about to sail away with the five ships, the Dayan people suddenly descended onto the sixth ship, where they began to slaughter the Dazi.
And then they marched toward the control room.
While attacking, Tang Zan said: "Soldiers on the sixth ship, open the cabin doors and start fighting."
Most Dazi didn’t understand Dayan Language, but when the cabin doors opened, they realized that these people wanted to encircle them.
Fortunately, there weren’t many Dayan soldiers skilled in Qinggong, apart from those from the Earth Department and Xuan Department, only a very few soldiers.
However, these people fought the Dazi evenly, and with the originally 100 soldiers on the ship, they surrounded seventy to eighty Dazi, captured control with minimal casualties.
The subsequent four ships followed the same pattern, with the quicker Dazi already diving into the icy water, while the slower ones were slaughtered on the spot.
The deck was dyed red with blood.
This time, ten soldiers died, many were injured.
But, this was the least damage since fighting the Dazi began.
Everyone gripped their red tassel spears, somewhat happy; they actually won.
A major victory, not a pyrrhic victory.
A thousand people killed more than 400 Dazi.
Tang Zan began post-war encouragement, wanting to steadily build up his followers’ confidence.
"The Dazi aren’t so terrifying; our Dayan sons aren’t cowards, this battle is proof!"
"Dayan sons are heroes! Not weaklings!"
Everyone looked with shining eyes toward Tang Zan. It was he who led them to victory, not recklessly, but with courage and wisdom.
"Dayan sons are heroes!"
"Dayan sons are heroes!"
Following Tang Zan’s lead, they repeated, with their confidence growing stronger with each repetition.
Tang Zan looked at Pei Shu’er, smiled, pulling her into his arms, laughing softly. Dıscover more novels at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
"I also owe it to my wife, if not for the cabin door being built so sturdily, the soldiers wouldn’t have waited for us to rescue them."
The people on the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth ships naturally knew this too, looking at Pei Shu’er with eyes full of gratitude.
At this moment, they were the most grateful to Pei Shu’er.
Fortunately, the shipbuilder was her; if it had been Households Commander Jiang before, how could he have thought of these things?
Pei Shu’er smiled and said: "I’m the shipbuilding supervisor, so I have to consider all aspects of the ship. Leaving a glimmer of hope for everyone is essential."
While others didn’t know, those from the shipyard did.
This ship indeed had cabin doors, but none were as sturdy as the ones Pei Shu’er built.
She even used thick metal, embedding the metal firmly into the ship’s hull to make the doors strong.
Back then, many openly and secretly opposed, and Households Commander Jiang even led a few from the shipyard to stir up trouble, but Pei Shu’er stuck to her views.
At this moment, how thankful they were for Pei Shu’er sticking to her ideas!
Thanks to her perseverance, she saved their lives.
Meanwhile, the shipyard people felt some guilt, knowing the person who valued their lives so greatly had endured such grievance.
Everyone turned to Pei Shu’er: "Supervisor Pei, we apologize for our previous offenses."
Before, they had to comply due to the faces of General Zhao and Commander Tang.
But now, they truly submit to her from the bottom of their hearts.
Even though she’s just a mere woman.
But she’s no less than any man.
Pei Shu’er smiled at everyone: "It’s not unusual to have design disagreements. I’m also glad my design saved everyone."
"Supervisor Pei is magnanimous!"
Pei Shu’er smiled, looked at Xuan Liu, and said: "Distribute the injured people into the largest room, while the severely injured are placed in another room. Then, I’ll come to see."
She then thought of the heroine Lin Shiyao’s heaven-defying medical skill.
She was about to knock on Lin Shiyao’s door when Lin Shiyao already opened it.
She smiled at Pei Shu’er: "Sister, I happen to know some medical skills, how about I treat everyone?"
Pei Shu’er nodded: "Thanks, sister."
Regarding those severely injured, they were prioritized for treatment.
Lin Shiyao’s medical skills were indeed good, just a bit slow, but slow work produces thorough work.
Pei Shu’er treated three, while Lin Shiyao had just finished treating one.
Soon, everyone realized that Lin Shiyao was indeed very lively.
She seemed to have endless things to say, and those who were emotionally down after the battle felt better after her praise.
As for Pei Shu’er, she had a different personality from Lin Shiyao.
She spoke softly to the patients, deliberately slowing her speech to provide comfort.
Everybody’s previously restless heart calmed down.
Moreover, her fast treatment was still patient.
Before treating, she would ask about any injuries, and after bandaging, would inquire again about any missed spots.
People found that although Lin Shiyao was lively, Pei Shu’er’s approach was actually more comfortable and didn’t disturb others.
